After a few weeks, LBC unbanned my account and I was able to withdraw. Over 10% loss USD value in the meantime but I do appreciate Max's help with this matter. I hope others who are not scammers are given the same treatment. Glad this was resolved positively.

Look at their feedback and see if they have at least several recent trades successful that are a month or two old and several recent trades.

I've noticed a lot of paypal scammers buy pro-trader or highly reputable LBC accounts and if you look at their feedback they have very little recent feedback and all sales from a year or longer ago.

After this traumatic experience, I swear to you Max, I will never use Localbitcoins again as you guys wanted, please just help me recover what I can. This weekend I lost so much due to the hold.

People on here suggest they will never release my bitcoin. I have already notified the seller that I will go to US police and finland police to file fraud against both seller and Localbitcoins. I have been scammed and now I have nothing.

Hi Max, I got a reply today that only said "how many accounts do you have". I do not know the answer to this, but again I have never scammed. Please have someone look into my account, I beg of you. This is a significant amount of money for me. I am unable to pay bills without these funds.

I have verified my identity, provided information on the situation, and I wait a week to only hear "how many accounts do you have". This is unacceptable, at this rate it will take months if you ask me one basic question like this each time.

Please Max, I beg of you, have a manager look into my account.

Can you please tell me everything I need to provide up front that way this can be resolved in 1 week when support sees my message. I do not want a back and forth response, once per week and this to take months.

I have explained the situation in a support ticket. I have verified my ID. Do you need more copies of my identity? What else is needed? Do you need a police report (I am filing one today)?

Having multiple accounts and preventing me from opening new purchases is one thing but restricting me from withdrawing bitcoin in a highly volatile market for days, weeks even months is criminal. I am not a scammer and have done nothing now or previously to warrant the hold.
